The rumormill is alive and well the week before E3 with all kinds of speculation and hopefuls for the show. This news is reportedly legitimate, however, from TheNPC's which says that developer Telltale Games (known best for the Sam & Max titles and a few episodes of Tales of Monkey Island) has "confirmed that they are making an episodic Jurassic Park game across multiple platforms in this month's Game Informer."
God help us, we're in the hands of engineers.
Bring on E3!
Update by Jason: There's a write-up over at GameInformer that includes this:
Telltale has a new deal with NBC Universal to create games based on their intellectual properties. The first game under the deal will be a full "season" using the Jurassic Park license. It's unclear how many episodes that will entail, but previous Telltale seasons have lasted between four and six episodes, with one episode released every month.
Telltale CEO Dan Connors described the project: "For Jurassic Park, we will leverage Telltale's expertise in storytelling and game design to deliver on the tension and drama of the series creating the ultimate cinematic adventure."

Very confused and excited about this.
And I wonder if this excludes Telltale from getting licences from rival entertainment companies?
Here's hoping for Jeff Goldgame Goldblum as a voice ac tor!
Back To The Future! Holy hell.
I wonder if it extends to Universal Music as well? ;)
U2 adventure. Ep 1: Bono's Back rehab.

Yeah, it's awesome. Let's speculate on other NBC universal franchises ripe for the Telltale picking..

And those are just the TV licenses. NBC Universal owns Universal Studios, hence the availability of Jurassic Park. A few minor franchises under that banner include Jaws, Back to the Future, E.T. It's wide open.
